+1. the chances i've introduced to the DNS in recent years were all
private, since the IETF is no longer amenable to innovation in that
space. (that is, the people who attend the meetings or read the mailing
list are pretty much opposed to pretty much everything; see also "tcpm"
mailing list.)

some examples:

ftp://isc.mirrors.pair.com/pubs/tn/isc-tn-2006-1.txt
http://ftp.isc.org/isc/dnsrpz/isc-tn-2010-1.txt
http://ss.vix.com/~vixie/isc-tn-2012-1.txt

there's no way any of that stuff, no matter how much it completely
reformats the world's digital economy, will ever be able to make it
through today's "standards process".

ymmv.
